Hey guys, i've been doing a bunch of research and looking up all different types of subs etc etc..

I'm basically looking for a good subwoofer system that can hit the lows in rap songs..

I wanna keep it around $300..

12"-15"
Single or Double
Ported
+ Amp

Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions for a good "budget" Subwoofer setup

Thanks!

what do you already have? is that budget for everything? no one ever seems to be disappointed with type r's as a budget sub.

but 300 for everything would be really tight

with that budget I'd go with used gear, and find something like an alpine type R sub or similar (single), I'd build my own ported box, and go with a used class D mono amp that can deliver about 600 watts RMS into the sub @ 2 ohms, making sure the sub I got was a single 2 ohm, or dual 4 ohm coil model sub.


This is all assuming he already has a head unit that has sub pre-outs, or has a LOC for his factory radio.

I have all my wiring.. line out converter (stock head unit)

So all i need is: Subs / Amp / Box.. I guess i could build a box, so that means $300 for Subs + Amp..

I was checking out craigslist and stuff, but i didn't see too much on there.

LMK whats up, thanks again guys!}}

I would put the bulk of it towards a decent amp. Then perhaps you would have room to upgrade subs in the near future if need be. Going used is a must with this price range.

Check out http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/ for some used deals

What gauge wiring do you already have?
